Possible S3 nerve damage

Hello, I'm new to this site. I am happy to see that there are others that know first hand what I am experiencing. I received a TB test injection in my left forearm back in February which for some strange reason triggered my S3 pain immediately to my left buttocks. It was as if I took the injection in my cheek. My left buttocks got really hard and swollen. It felt weird walking for a long time. The hardness in my cheek went away, but my left cheek is a little bigger than my right. I still have pain sitting only in my left cheek. This is so bizarre.

Hello @cheek2cheek, welcome to Connect. While we wait for others to jump back in to the conversation, I just wanted to say that your symptoms do indeed seem strange. Did you mention this to the person who administered your TB test or checked your TB test?

I did and she shared with me that she never heard of such reaction and that I should see my doctor. The previous year I had another TB injection in my right forearm and I felt a sting in my right hip while I received the injection and a little discomfort in right hip especially while walking back to my car. Those symptoms went away in 1hour. I have to have an annual TB injection because I work in a hospital. This past February was my last injection that I intend to take. I have always felt something or noticed a change in my body after the injection and the February was by far the worst. I am prior military and received multiple shots during my service and I never had any issues.

@cheek2cheek when I worked in hospital back then we never had to get TB injections this must be new or do you work with Tb patients ,flu shot yearly only I don't blame U. Iwouldn't get this anymore As Justin said this is very strange to get hip pain ,your body is telling you something
